SADDLE FOR SPINNING-FRAMES.

To all 10710771 it may concern:

Be it known that I, Join ll. TIJRCOT'I'I-i, a

vented certain new and useful Improvements in Saddles tor Spinning-l rmnes, ol which the following" is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in Saddles tor the upper rolls of spinning l'raines for cotton, silk, etc., at the top, in which the main saddle is constructed with an oil conduit which receives its supply or is .lilled from behind the clearer-board and from which the oil delivered to the bearing oints through openings or passages leadiiig oni such conduit and opening over such points for the purpose of lubricating the bearing surfaces; said improvements also embrace, in addition. to the aforesaid features, a certain peculiar auxiliary or bottom saddle. and means to lock the main saddle and blade together, all as hereinafter set forth.

The objects oi my invention are, first, to produces simple and durable saddle ot the character mentioned above, which is adapted to receive and contain oil and to distribute the oil directly to the different hearing points in such a manner that they will be lubricated uniformly, abundantly, and properly, without waste; second, to ailord convenient means for easily and quickly lilling the conduit in the saddle with oil without removing the clearer-board; third, to avoid all danger of spilling oil on the rolls and so spoiling those which are covered with leather, the front rolls, on the one hand, and soiling or ruining the roving, on the other hand fourth, to so construct the lower saddle that there shall be no escape oi oil laterally therefrom; fifth, to provide means for locking together, as it were, the main saddle and the weighted blade which holds it down to its worl-c, whereby neither one nor both is or are liable to get lost, as frequently happens with those now in common use, and, sixth, to furnish a selfclosing cover at the entrance to the oil conduit so as to keep out dust and dirt.

In spinning frames for tine thread where the speed is slow no lower or under saddle employed.

1 attain iie abowoneiitioned objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Y Figure 1 is a sectional view of assembled parts which embody my invention and illustrate n practi al application of the same; Fig. 2, a rear end view of the two saddles shown in the precmiing view, without the cap Fig. 3, a front elevation of the part of the blade which has the eye therein to receive the main saddle, and, Fig. 4, a sectional iew saddle is omitted and there are only two bearing points and oil outlets for the sen s3 number of ournals.

Similar figures refer to similar ports tln'oughout the several views.

in Fig; 1 three rolls 5 are represented, with two saddles t5 and 7 bearing on the journals H of such rolls to hold the latter down forcibly on the same number of bottom rolls 5), a weight 10 suspended from a blade ll supported from said saddle 6 affording the required :unount of pressure. A clearerbonrd is represented at 12, the same resting on the saddle 6. In Fig. 4 the same elements are shown with the exeeption of the under saddle and one pair oi rolls 5 and 9. It is to be understood that, in practice, the roving passes between the rolls 5 above and the rolls E) below. The arrangement of the members just pointed out and their relation to each other are generally old and well known, but the construction of the saddles is new and novel and will now be described, beginning with the main saddle which is employed in every (use. This saddle, 6, is provided with an upstanding extension or arm 13 at the back end, rising behind the elearer'board 12 when the parts are assembled, as they are assumed to be -t'or the purposes of this description. Said saddle is hollow, that is, it has a comparatively large passage or conduit 14 therein which opens through the top of the arm 15 and from which small openings or passages 15 extend to open through the bottom of the horizontal part of the saddle either directly onto the journals 8 or into the saddle 7 when the latter is present.

Passing next to the saddle 7, it will be noticed that the upper surface thereof is dished to form a shallow receptacle or recess 16 in the top below the middle and rear passages 1.5 in the main saddle, and that this recess communicates with the two journals 8 below by way of two small openings or passages l? which ope through the bottom. of said saddle 7 directly'onto said ournals-- By similar to the first except; that here the under with a set of upper roll journals, of a saddle comprising a part which is adapted to bear on such journals and an upstanding arm, such saddle having an inclosed angular condnit or passa e therein opening at intervals through sma iler passages in the bottom thereof, the receiving end 'of such angular passage being in said arm, and a second saddle adapted. to be interposed between the first saddle and certain of said, journals and arranged to receive oil from the main passage through certain of the smaller passages in said first mentioned saddle and to deliver it to the journals below.

3. The combination, in a spinning frame, With a set oi upper roll journals, of a saddle comprising a part which is adapted to bear on such journals and an upstanding arm, such saddle having an inclosed angular c onduit or passage therein. opening at intervals through smaller passages in the bottom thereof, the receiving end of such angular passage being in said arm, and a second saddle adapted to-be interposed between the first saddle and certain of said journals and arranged to receive oil from the main passage through certain of the smaller passages in said first saddle and to deliver it to the journals below, said second saddle having flanges at the sides only to embrace the first saddle.

4. The combination, in a saddle for spinning frames, with an approximately horizontal part having bottom {)EFIiOI'tttitHiS, and an upstanding arm integral with said approximately horizontal part, such part. and arm having an inrlosed angular oil conduit or passage therein which is closed at its front terminal, extends from a point near the lor- Ward end of the approximately horizontal part longitudinally through such part and upward through said arm, and opens through the latter and through said perforations in the bottom of the aforesaid horizontal part, of a selfclosing lid on the arm at the en trance to said passage.

5. The combination, in a spinning frame, with a set of upper roll journals, and a Weighted blade having an eye therein, of a saddle adapted to bear on or to be supported by said journals and in turn to support suoh blade, said saddle comprising an approximately horizontal. part with an integral upstanding -arm at the rear end, the front terminal of said approximately horizontal part being larger than the eye in said blade, but the back portion of the saddle includingthe arm and the angle or elbow being small enough to pass through such eye.

6. The combination, in a spinning frame, with a set of upper roll journals, and a Weighted blade having an eye t ierein, of a saddle adapted to bear on or to be supported by such journals and in turn to support such blade, said saddle comprising an approximately horizontal part w th an integral upstanding arm at the rear end, the front terminal of said approximately hori zontal part being larger than the eye in said blade, but the back portion of the saddleincluding the arm and the angle or elbow being small enough to pass through such eye,

and a removable cap on said arm which is I also larger than said eye.
